I just purchased one of these. How do I adjust the depth. I see there is a small black lever that moves up a short distance but the shoe does not move. Is it faulty?

Check the front swivel on the shoe to see if it's not too tight that it won't move up and down. That small black lever moves mine up and down because it is the shoe release. Hope that helps.

I'm assuming that you're lifting the long black lever located on the back side of the blade shroud (I've been teaching the basics of power tools to a few dads that never owned one before). If it seems soft to the touch when you move it to an upward vertical position to adjust the blade depth, but the shoe fails to move, the lever has either come loose and backed off of the nut that tightens the depth adjustment. or it has been rounded out during assembly from being over-tightened. Other than that, this is the best explanation I can give you based on my ownership and experience of this same model. And I've had mine for over 7 years.

Loosen the lever. The shoe/plate should drop down (pivot). You might have to force it the first few times if it is tight. Mine was easy to do.

One of my units did the same thing. The problem was the unit was not mounting correctly. Check the foot and make sure all of the contacts are equal length. I found one not making proper contact. Upon some adjustment it started working. Don't feel ripped off. For the price these units are great but a defective unit from time to time can be expected. If the problem persists just get it replaced.

Try unscrewing the adjustment entirely...the should be a rubber seal inside in addition to a little plastic ring. See if either of those are mangled and messing with the adjustment.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation...If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

I drilled two holes into each foot rest about half-way down and threaded some long shoe laces through. After you Velcro your shoes in, tie the shoelaces over your shoes. I don't have the slipping issue anymore.

Sorry, I have no idea on that one. Mine was tight and worked fine out of the box. If it was mine I would try tightening it up and try it and adjust from there.

I adjusted mine to a comfortable fit and slide my feet in:/out. I find much easier than trying to adjust every time.

As the previous people are saying the white lever (button) on the side that allows you to adjust depth also locks the shaft if you depress it while spinning the shaft. It is shown in the diagram in the instructions as well as being explained.

you can adjust the depth from about 1 half inch to about 2 inches.I use it about in the middle now. I started a the smallest and worked up each time

Lift and hold the lever on the left side, and push the foot rest down to the position you want, then let go of the lever, it should stay.

It widens out at least one letter width. Especially when you use the attachments on either side. You have to be careful not to twist the handle too far because it can dig into the footbed of the shoe.

Hi - I put the toe forward. Make sure your poles are screwed in tighly. If not the little boot might move with the pole. It should face forward.

Initially I had the same problem. I turned the base upside down and straddled it to give myself maximum downward pressure on the caster. I put a very small amount of liquid dish soap on the end of the caster and I was able to rock the caster side to side until it slipped into position. My wife loves the chair--hope this help you. Best wishes.

I have a medium and I think there is a way to tighten it. I pulled up on the Even Up strap and that seemed to work. Also, I wore tennis shoes which filled a good portion of that shoe balancer. Good luck.

I have the same issue. I have tried to fix it with no luck. Only thing that works is holding the handle at aslight angle. Over all I am not happy with this item.

You butt them up against the back inside of your shoe. You may need to use your finger to hold it in place while you slide your foot in to your shoe.

Reviewer should send it back,or get some one who is a specialist on search to check it out.I use setting at 4, I hope he have the iron shoe, if not get one.
